Revise proposal 185 to make DirCache flag unconditional

Based on review by Karsten, who says:

"""I'm not sure why a) relays with a working DirPort shouldn't include "dir-cache 1" in their router descriptor and b) authorities shouldn't assign the "DirCache" flag to relays with a working DirPort that don't have a "dir-cache 1" line in their router descriptor. I understand that neither of the two actions are necessary to make the proposal work. But this could be a chance to get rid of the DirPort concept entirely and only rely on "dir-cache 1" and "DirCache" flags in the future.""" --- proposals/185-dir-without-dirport.txt | 12 ++++++------ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-)
